Finally, a (mild) upset: Temple lost to GW, on senior night, in overtime, after the Colonials pulled off a dramatic late comeback.
The game must have hurt to watch, and not just because the home team went down: GW-- who won, remember-- shot 33% for the game, and had just 14 at the half. Sarah Jo Lawrence led all scorers with 21.
GW face Charlotte (who won again last night) Sunday: the winner lands the A-Ten title. Despite their reputation, Temple now risk third place in their own conference.
With two wins over Temple and an early-season triumph over Purdue, do the Colonials have an at-large bid locked up? Not quite: they did lose to Xavier, UMass, and Richmond-- but I wouldn't wager against them.
Charlotte, however, will probably need to win the A-Ten tournament: they have lots of wins, but none over quality teams, lost to Temple, and haven't faced GW yet.
